I need some help choosing a monitor. (self.buildapc)

Simply put I have built a gaming tower that I have no monitor that will connect with the machine only having a BIOS and no OS. As I understand it, I need something that will connect with an HDMI cable, but that seems to be either a traditional monitor or a tablet. I'm completely unsure which would be more stable, and therefore "better." I lean towards the normal static monitor over HDMI enabled tablets, but I am uncertain if that is just me being out of touch with the latest hardware.

This is the build list I used, except I doubled the RAM to 64 GB of the same type.

My thoughts exactly. He has the skill to built a PC from scratch, and then this? I'm so curious now.

To the OP: With the graphics card it should be a 1080p or maybe 2k monitor, preferably with high refresh rates.

Edit: Wait. Is the 6700 included or not?

Yes, the 6700 was included, I got the parts a couple months ago, and am just now getting around to installing the OS, but that requires a display that will actually correctly interpret the signals coming from the GPU

Okay, If you like older games that card should run them at 1080p with high details. I had the 6600, and it had enough power to run Cyberpunk at that resolution with high (not max) details at 50 FPS. Less demanding games reached higher frame rates, so my recommendation would be 1080p with a refresh rate of 100hz or more. Maybe 24" or 27". If you use it for office applications mainly maybe you could go 2 or even 4k. Have fun!!
